he molded parts of the FD's fenders in to fit the front bumper. The headlights look like their from a FD too . . . my opinion.

Carl Byck did this with a Mazdaspeed GTC front end, but he didn't mold anything, someone made the kit to fit on FC's.

Carl's body is totally different. His is just a bumper made by Rotary Extreme for FC's. The one at the top of this thread uses a full FD front (Bumper, fenders, lights, hood).

The first one.
You can never go wrong with a little bit of FD styling.

THAT IS SICK!!! Man... If I had an FC... I would for sure consider doing that conversion... That is really Unique... I'd like to bet there aren't much of those running around here in the states... imagine what it would be like with a 20b engine too... Oh the possibilities...

You can if you put it on an FC. It looks unbalanced, and doesn't fit the FC styling at all.

To each his own I guess... I personally like it... I think it's unique in a way. But then again my 2 cents... I think it looks like a totally one of a kind car...
